Where it all began.
I am a mid 90’s baby from India. It was only a year before I was born that India had its first mobile phone call. And although PC’s were introduced to India in the 70’s, it was only in 90’s that an average man could afford it. Broadly speaking, I’ve grown up witnessing two of the greatest technologies introduced to mankind evolve to change the landscape of human interactions.
I am
a Multidisciplinary Designer
Websites and digital experiences, graphics and identity, products and packaging, industrial and systems, I've done it all. As a multidisciplinary thinker I wear many different hats.
As a graduate of industrial design, and a master in user experience engineering, I've been actively pursuing cross - disciplinary design to broaden my experience. While studying interaction design and user experience design, I realized that the intuitive nature of this discipline resonates strongly with my keen interest in psychology.
I've noticed that people always have a dialogue with the device they're struggling with, almost as if talking to it - and it occurred to me that interaction design is nothing more than a story about how a human and a product communicate with each other, and I want to be the author of that story. A story about the human mind and its capabilities.
Hobbies
Fascinations within
I'm intrigued by textures and collect them through printing and micro photography. I have used digitized leaf prints in this website as a way of adding a bit of me to the aesthetic. I enjoy photographing architecture and landscapes. I am also an occasional PC gamer, who knits.
